The Alleged New Chinese Treaty.
WASHINGTON, January 13th-Itis learned
at the State Department that the treaty be-
tween the United States and China has not
yet been finally concluded. AS Assistant
Secretary Porter said yesterday, negoti-
atoms have been in progress for some
time, but the project is not yet signed
That the treaty will be concluded and sent
to the Senate at this session, however, is
al hlx n i.l,
Pacific coast people are interested in is
whether the new treaty will be framed to
guard the loopholes in the present law.
So Ear as car be learned, the State Depart
ment officials have not consulted any
members of the California delegation in
Congress regarding the treaty, and are 60
ing ahead upon Bayard's general idea that
something should be done to remedy the
evils OF which the Pacific coast people COM
plain. When Senator Miller was Chair
| man of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
inittee Frelinghuvsen consulted him about
everything that concerned the welfare OF
California. Mr.. Bayard apparently has not
made the acquaintance of any Pacific coast
Representative in whom he chooses to
place sufficient confidence to freely consult
with him.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 13th.-In the
House this afternoon the Republicans took
] up the contested seats question and referred
! it to the Committee on Elections So far
| eight notices of contest have been fled in
| the House, and five in the Senate. OF the
House contests seven are against Demo-
| Gratis, and four of the five contests in the
Senate are against Republicans. Under
| the rule adopted in both houses members
| can be unseated on very short notice. and
it is clearly the intention on both sides to
endeavor to obtain the number of members
| requisite to the election of a United States
| Senator. AT present the Democrats have 10
| votes on joint ballot, and the Republicans
| "A. The joint Convention for the election
| OF a Senator meets on the 19;h. What the
| next few days may bring forth it is i'm
| possible 10 predict, but ii is possible that
| on Wednesday both houses will be scenes
| of great excitement.

York Health Board, yesterday, "and that
| is the advance of cholera in South Amer
lea. The mails from Montevidio which
| arrived by the Rio steamer this morning,
| announced that the disease had made its

step nearer Brazil. The ease with which
| the pestilence passed all ordinary quaran-
tine restrictions shows how imprrdent it
is TO rely altogether upon that one precau-
ton of attempting to locaize it. All expe-

ness and improved sanitary arrangements.
